FOREWORD 

This Syllabus is an evolution from an outline of Bassett's Short History 
of the United States, prepared as an aid in teaching an introductory course in 
United States history at Ohio State University. In giving the syllabus the 
present form, it seems desirable to explain that while Professor Bassett's 
text remains the basis, and the page notations throughout the body of the 
syllabus refer to it, considerable liberty has been taken in rearranging the sub- 
ject matter for class discussion. It has been our practice in assigning collateral 
reading to allow students to select two entire volumes of biography each semester 
using the American Statesmen and American Crisis series for this purpose. 
The inclusion of reference lists at the close of each main division of the Syllabus 
will easily make possible an alternative plan of reading. The classification of 
references under "Other texts," "General accounts," "Topical readings," 
and "Additional topics" calls for no comment, except that the notations 
preceding the topical references correspond with the subdivisions of the out- 
line. The list of books cited is rigidly minimized, in order to come well within 
the limitations of small libraries, and because about half of our students are 
Freshmen for whom excellent treatises are sometimes obviously unsuited. 
A full list of books cited will be found at the close of the Syllabus. 

The body of the Syllabus directs the student 's attention to a few important 
documents in parenthetical references to "Readings." To minimize expense 
Brown's Epoch-making Payers has been used, but the term, "Readings," wil 
permit those who wish to place more stress on documents to use a larger source 
book. A useful map-book at reasonable expense is Bartholomew 's Literary 
and Historical Atlas of America {Everyman's Library). 

It is our own practice to present the main elements of the colonial period 
briefly in five or six lectures at the beginning of the year, and to enter a detailed 
discussion of the work with Chapter III of the Syllabus. We have found it 

3 



impossible to cover the whole of our history adequately in a year's course of 
three hours a week, and this distribution of emphasis permits us to bring the 
history of our own generation into its proper prominence. For those who prefer 
a different treatment, a detailed outline of the colonial period has been supplied. 
This new edition of the Syllabus has been necessitated by the wide demand 
which has come for it from other colleges of the country. An opportunity has 
been taken to introduce a number of changes and to outline the main events 
in President Wilson's first administration. It is hoped that the Syllabus may 
continue to be of use to secondary school teachers as a guide in self-preparation.

III. THE CONTEST OVER TAXATION BY PARLIAMENT 
(1763-1774) 

1. Introductory. 161-162. 

.a Theories of the powers of Parliament. 

1) English theory of parliamentary supremacy: Parliament is 
supreme for every purpose throughout the empire. (This 
was the accepted legal theory in England but had never been 
clearly put into operation over the colonies.) 

2) American theory of colonial home rule: Parliament is supreme 
only in affairs affecting the empire as a whole; in purely local 
matters the colonial legislatures are supreme. Thus, Parlia- 
ment can pass acts of trade and navigation and regulate money 
throughout the empire for the common good, but cannot 
tax a colony internally any more than the colonial legislature 
could tax England. (The distinction grew up in the Americans' 
minds between "internal" and "external" taxation, the latter 
being acknowledged as within the power of Parliament. The 
American view was strengthened by the English policy of

For events since 1916, see such weekly periodicals as the Independent , Literary Digest, Nation 
New Republic and Outlook; such monthly periodicals as Current Opinion and the Review of Reviews; 
and the volumes of the American Year Book. Current History, published by the New York Times 
Company, is especially valuable for the period of the Great War, for the reprints of official docu- 
ments as well as general articles. The Historical Outlook, published by the McKinley Publishing 
Company, Philadelphia, has devoted its columns largely to war problems, as related to the teaching 
of history, for the past two or three years. For the Great War, the publications of the Committee 
on Public Information should be obtained. Among the many books dealing with phases of the 
war the following are of especial value to the college student of American History:
